1974 Mercury Steering or tilt tube compatible with new teleflex steering kit?

[mike4901]

I can't seem to find out if a new teleflex steering cable kit will attach to my 74 Merc. 402 through the original tilt tube or steering tube, the thread size on my merc. looks to be approx 3/4" corse thread on both ends of the tube and it measures about 11" in length. Any help would be great! The teleflex steering kit has no info. on the thread size at the end of the cable that threads to the steering tube on the outboard.

Steering cable compants built ther systems so they are not parts interchangable and most are know longer in business, Merc and Teleflex are whats left in belive, the cheapest way out of you problem is Teleflex system thet build a complete replacement system(less the steering wheel) that retails for around $200
